I bought the outline tie when I was at the Lego store a couple of weeks ago.  I
agree that the other two, I would not wear.  The outline tie is a little less
"abrasive", but even though it is mostly black, the colors of the brick
outlines are a little bit bright, in my opinion.

It just so happens that I wore my new tie today for the first time at work.
...dramatic pause...  No one commented. :-)  Except for my friend Edna, who
knows of my Lego obsession, and she liked it.  I probably also should mention
that I sit in a cubicle most of the day, so that would lessen the exposure to
the masses.

Going with Mike's idea below, if one of the Fibblesnork backgrounds in a muted
color, such as beige or light blue were available, and about the same price as
these, then I would probably buy one.

I had heard about these ties, but hadn't seen the pictures posted before I • went

Yes, it's cool that LEGO ties exist (I wanted one as soon as I heard they
existed), but I think the designs available are ugly and loud. • <snip>
What I think would make a great LEGO tie would be something like Todd • Lehman's
Fibblesnork backgrounds of tiled bricks
(http://www.fibblesnork.com/lego/backgrounds/) on silk ties in a variety of
different colors.  The geometric, one-color design is quiet and classy enough
to wear to a business meeting, yet still has the subtly playful LEGO theme. • I
would buy several colors of these and not think twice about wearing them to
work.
